EMERGENCY!!by
RuchartComment by RiderGal: Greetings from the Critique Club...
I guess for this to be more sound oriented I would have liked to have seen a racing truck with it's emergency lights going... it makes sense that this was taken at a parade, there is no sense of quick racing, siren pumping action... which to me, makes it just a photo of a fire truck.
Composition wise... not much to say here. it's not dead center which is good. I like the way it's coming towards you but not completely... I'm glad you didn't just shoot it as it went by in a straight line. I think this adds more of a sense of 3d. Good job filling the frame.
One thing that could have improved this shot since you didn't take it as it was rushing past to an emergency would have been paying closer attention to your background. The poles seem to be coming out of, maybe even attached to the truck, especially the back one.
As a photo, not as a sound photo, I like the reflection in the truck... kind of a hometown, fourth of july feel. Very nice.
Your colors are pretty good here, and your lighting seems to be nicely done, I like the fact that the shadow is underneath the truck... and there doesn't seem to be too many harsh shadows on the truck itself.
Overall not a bad photo, I don't think it got sound across, at least not to me, but it's a well composed nice looking photo.
